I’ve had nothing but issues with my host / provider (if you scroll through my older posts you’ll see all of the images are broken, the latest development in a huge long list of issues) – so. I’m moving the blog. You can now find me over at:

This current rendition will stay up until November, and then will also expire.
Another month, another bunch of bullshit from real life – so I’ve been diving into some cozy casual gaming when I’ve got a few minutes here and there. For the first time in a few years, I decided to place a deed on another server. I currently have two deeds on Independence, one I’ve had for 5 years this year. I adore the deeds, but after time I get tired of how large Independence is. I decided maybe a change of pace would be nice. I did want my new place to be ‘easy’ to get to, sailing out from my Independence deed either South or East (ideally).
That’s how I found myself on Exodus. If I sail out from Independence going East, I end up on the South West coast of Exodus. Turns out there was an almost perfect spot just there, waiting. So I deeded it. I named it Quail Retreat, and I’m hoping to put my priest alts there to get some praying done (and thus, treasure maps). I used to live on Exodus ages ago, but I’m completely unfamiliar with the lands now and I’m excited about this new prospect. It won’t overtake my current ‘main’ deed over on Independence, but a change of scenery is nice.
In that same vein, Moumix has plopped down his very first deed – the first one in over 10 years. He’s going to make it pirate themed, and I’m excited to see what he comes up with (and how long it lasts). At the moment, I still have 5 active characters, which is 3 more than I intended. I’m not sure who I want to continue with, but the alts will slowly drop their premium status over time. Stargrace (my main) and Blesse (my Vynora priest alt) will remain premium since those are the two I purchase a year at a time.
There have been no updates to the game for a few months now. I’m still waiting for docks, goblin camps, and the fabled auction house update that we were teased with years ago but have heard nothing about. Hopefully I’ll have something to report on those fronts in time.
As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.
I don’t know when I discovered this recipe (I tried to search on this blog to see if I spoke about it, but apparently I did not) but it looks like I have ‘bugged fish’ named after me on the Independence server – sort of neat! The first person to craft each recipe per server is who it was named after, so on another server this recipe is called something else.
I’m trying to unlock 500+ recipes, but it’s slow going. I’m glad I’ve added as many as I have, though. The cooking update remains to this day one of my favourite Wurm Online updates.
Happy gaming – no matter where you find yourself.
When Moumix asked me if I wanted to go on an adventure, I had NO idea that he meant we would be travelling to Xanadu to participate in the Puzzle King Labyrinth. I was even more confused because I thought that this labyrinth was on Deliverance (and apparently it was, in the past, but had moved) so I wasn’t sure where we were headed.
The puzzle king’s crystal ball was one of the few Wurm Online relics that I was still missing from my collection, and I didn’t want to purchase one because I knew we could still obtain it by completing the maze. It just so happens that I’m also absolutely rubbish at doing mazes – so my first run took around three hours. The maze itself is INCREDIBLE. I have never partaken in something so amazing in game before, and I had an absolute blast trying to complete it, even as the hours dragged on. The amount of work that must have gone into creating something like this is astounding.
Eventually I did complete it, and obtained my prize – which now sits in Quail Cove along with my other collectable items.
Moumix decided to stay behind on his priest alts and he ran them all through as well, obtaining a few more crystal balls. I opted out of this, once was enough.
Real life has been a lot lately. My mother in law passed away this week, and that means the other half has to fly from NS to BC to handle things like the estate. I am trying to learn to deal with my grief, but I’m not good at that stuff. The entire household has also been quite sick for some time which just compounds the issues.
I have not been playing any World of Warcraft on any significant level, either, because my computer broke yesterday. I’ve ordered new parts, but I imagine it will be some time before they arrive. They say when it rains, it pours, and I suppose in this instance, that’s absolutely true.
Safe travels and happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.
